Very much like the Crosman 2240 with Wooden grips. I find the 2240 excellent, reliable and very affordable. Great review.🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@WalnutandSteel]

I had the opportunity to rebuild a sheridan eb20 for a friend last year. Such a terrific gun!

[@matthewmason2037]

Great show, JC. I like the old classics and anyone of them can be bought if a man just keeps his eyes peeled and has patience.

[@nlmeireles5109]

Ola JC, That's a nice classic Benjamin pistol, very well made and with great performance. I have a Crosman Silhouette Sport Pistol Ssp-250 made in the USA in 1990, also very good.. Great review. Have a good weekend Buddy!

[@brorjordas1979]

Pretty nice pistol you've got there. Performed very well indeed.

[@simonnoble7589]

Hey , how are you ? have a great weekend 🙃

[@brorjordas1979]

@@simonnoble7589 Good morning Simon! All's been good here. You also have a great weekend! 😊👍🏻

History is the gateway to the future

[@xdmc005]

I think it’s a little funny that someone would watch a video called “rare and unusual” and then be upset with you because they can’t easily purchase the item featured. I watched a documentary on the history of the automobile a while back. I didn’t get mad when there wasn’t a Model T available for purchase at the local Ford dealer! Anyway, great video. I think this series is fun, interesting, and informative.

[@markiskool]

Ok, so I feel like my comment prompted his commentary and your comment. I did, indeed, lament a beautiful airgun he reviewed, knowing that it was rare and unusual, only to realize I'll prolly never be able to own one. My comment was a "love hate" comment, in that I loved the review and the gun, but felt bad I'd never be able to own it. I think my sentiment was more of a reflection of myself in that, "If I had only known way back when".

[@channingwalmsley9738]

I’ve got an (I think) 250 model. Basically the same thing, but I think mine is older. Mine is an 8g CO2 and a bit rougher shape, but a cool thing

[@jhackett9482]

JC, subscribed and enjoying your channel. It’s great that you have a set format so I always know I’ll get the important info on these guns. No other channel does this which makes your channel my “go to” for air gun info.

[@user-uy2nw2cz6j]

I have a old walter air pistol that works even to day this air pistol remembers me anyway a nice video again you Greeks

[@Gary-lj7pi]

Nice .

[@BoggWeasel]

That's a nice pistol and it shoots a lot better than quite a few of the current ones. You refer to it as a "BB gun" so I assume it's a smooth bore, can't help but think it would perform even better with some rifling' Shame it's not made anymore as it's definitely a pistol I would consider owning but unfortunately it's in my" box of guns no longer made" along with the PPK and a few others. I seem to have missed the boat on some them by months, some by a couple of years and longer. Interesting and good review as always JC,.

[@milesstover3724]

the system is basically identical to the 2240, save for different/better furniture etc

[@ShootingTheBreeze71]

I sure wish I never got rid of my H9 5.5 in Nickel

[@robertkeller447]

I had the Sheridan 5mm pistol , it was a thumper

[@dutchman4414]

I had the nikkel plated version in the 90s wish i still had it.

[@heathhalfhill6401]

This is a satisfying pistol to shoot. Very well made. I have always wondered, but not that I would, in these brass barrels can you shoot an alloy pellet without damaging the brass rifling?? My B.S 392 .22 8 pump has a brass barrel also. Curious but not willing to take a chance with alloy/zinc. Sticking with lead😊

[@stevel105]

Great Video, Nice Pistol. Too bad they don't make the Pistol anymore that have some Power to them.

[@curly__3]

Rad! thanks.

[@flashtech6492]

love your video's but how about some high end air rifles once in awhile.. maybe a R.A.W 100X I own one and love it but never seen you talk about them...

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

Hi JC, I know these are probably not all in the same class but if you had to choose between this, crosman 2240 and the diana airbug, which would you choose?

[@AirgunDetectives]

The Airbug has a lighter trigger and has the edge on accuracy. Now, if the price was not an issue, I would build a custom 2240 from Crosman's custom shop and add the Walther barrel.I have a couple of those. Great pistols and those can be made into carbines. Happy Shooting!👍🏻😉

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

​@AirgunDetectives Thanks for the reply JC, here is South Africa the crosman is double the price and no custom crosman shop here so I guess I will have to stick to the diana airbug. Really enjoying your channel Thanks for the great content

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

why the brass barrel? seems kind of soft material.,

[@bobwershing3505]

What ah Gem💯❤👍😎

[@TacticalJackalope]

No Shot coverage this year?

[@kurtthomas4746]

Patient, coming soon. Pretty sure.

[@fireside9503]

Is the banner in the back moving or am I cracking up?

[@itshanethoentertainment3188]

Seems alot like the 2240.
